Hints & Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your appliance:
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight
away. The use of an insulated container is advisable.
When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the
freezer compartment immediately.
Do not push food together too much.
Do not store uncovered food.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment is
dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and pro-
vide an airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen
water droplets on the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a suitable temperature
and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially
thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be con-
sumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage
times indicated by the manufacturer.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat,
such as a boiler or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room
and make sure that the air openings of the appliance
are not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing
all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing
them in the freezer compartment.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge compartment before being trans-
ferred to the freezer compartment.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter
the cabinet and cause the compressor to often switch
on unnecessarily.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door
from closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen
foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within
your freezer compartment should rise, do not refreeze the
food without checking its condition. The following guide-
lines should assist you:
Ice Cream : Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables : If soft should be cooked and used
up.
Breads & Cakes : Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish : Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes : i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated
and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there
are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken : Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh
dish.
